I’m trying to create a script that batch prints PDFs for me. The script that I’ve made still wants me to manually type in the name for every PDF when I run it instead of doing to automatically. I’ve read a bunch of other similiar posts about the same topic but I still can’t manage to find a solution…

Hi @Denish97 , It is probably necessary to configure the virtual printer to put it in “silent” mode but not sure if this is possible with Microsoft print Pdf. However There are other virtual printers like PDFCreator.

I have no experience with Bluebeam but it works fine with Adobe PDF. [image] Suppress "Save As" with Print PDF node(s) Revit Hi Justin, It depends totally from your Virtual PDF Printer. It is usually possible to disable the “save” pop-up and automatically overwrite the …

It’s working with Adobe PDF but the PDFs get a different name than what I asked for. I would like to name them as the name of the sheet. Instead, it gates the name “Name of the revit file + “sheet” + Sheet number + sheet name”. I just want the sheet name.

I can’t reproduce your issue so it is probably an Adobe PDF configuration problem. [Batch Print PDF] [image]

I really would recommend PDFCreator, it is a free pdf printer that allowed for a specific dynamo printer to be made. This way you can use a printer specifically for dynamo that doesn’t give you a save as prompt. Of course as Alban suggested other pdf printers work aswell

If you want to do this in Bluebeam then you’ll need to modify the Registry or turn off “Prompt for file name” in BB Administrator, but then it won’t ask for anything unless you have 2019+ and then Revit has its own settings now you can set up.

It’s not working for me. I encounter two problems with this script. It only prints one sheet as PDF. The name of the PDF is incorrect. [Skärmbild 2021-01-02 152051] [Skärmbild 2021-01-03 215516]

I don’t know where to find those settings in Bluebeam :frowning:

Can you place watch nodes before the filepath and views input or pin the contents below the nodes?

Do you know I can do that with the virtual printer Adobe PDF (or Bluebeam)? I can’t find it in the printer settings. I actually copied the first script that you made from this post Batch Print PDF
